In the event that any water supply rates and charges (or any installment thereof) for any services furnished to any premises shall not be paid within 90 days after the due date thereof, then all services furnished by the water system to the premises may be discontinued by Plainfield. Service so discontinued shall not be restored until all sums then due and owing, including penalties and interest, are paid, plus all expenses incurred by the Township, Plainfield, and/or the Authority for shutting off and turning on the water service.

When such delinquent water supply rates and charges, penalties, interest and other fees are collected by Cannon, the proceeds shall be promptly paid by Cannon to Plainfield in accordance with the Water Service Agreement.
